Lightwork, from Silver See, Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies portfolio, 1977

Description

Sheila Pinkel is a multidisciplinary artist who endeavors to make visible aspects of the unseen world, primarily through experiments with light and different types of camera-less photography. This unique photogram began with a sheet of photographic paper that Pinkel folded, shaped, and then exposed to light. Once unfolded and developed, the paper was left with a dramatic patterning of light and shadow that appears to take a sculptural form.
